Ranulph Fiennes is attempting a record breaking six month trek across the most dangerous part of Antarctica. has already gone from the north pole to the south pole, climbed Mount Everest, travelled along the Nile in a hovercraft and run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. The explorer said that he looked at doing the trek 25 years ago but thought it looked impossible. So why now? Well Fiennes said "We heard a rumour that Norwegian explorers were contemplating this. We realised we were going to have to have a go." The team will be carrying out important scientific research in the area, as well as raising money for charity. They'll be setting off on their epic journey at the end of March 2013, just as winter sets in. The group are troot during the winter.
The expedition is being called the Coldest Journey on Earth because the team will have to face freezing temperatures of minus 90 c. Ranulph Fiennes was born in March 7 1944. interesting questions about my explorer: When was he born? What was he born to do?
What is his job before he was an explorer?
Why did he want to be an explorer?
Why does he look like a president?
Was he rich?
Does he have a sister/brother?
Is being an explorer hard?
Is his trip to the Antarctica difficult?
Does he like being an explorer?
Did he face anything extremely hazardous?
